Metal-π-allyl mediated asymmetric cycloaddition reactions

Asymmetric metal-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions via interceptive allylic substitution have become over the last decades a very appealing and powerful alternative methodology to classical cycloaddition reactions for the synthesis of chiral carbon- and heterocyclic compounds. Herein, the literature data reported since 2017 are compiled according the nature of the cyclic backbone formed.
